Planning and Zoning Minutes April 4, 2005 Page 6 Brandon Chaney, the Engineer representing the Developer, stated that one of the big issues was the additional access to FM 195 which his client is not highly opposed to. However, there were concerns over a continuous street through the subdivision that would encourage all traffic on 34th Street to go through the subdivision and onto FM 195. Since it will be a large residential area with a lot of new homes 'which will be a lot of people with families, the preference is to limit high speed, high volume traffic through the bulk of the subdivision. The City Engineer recommended that 34th Street be moved over where it comes into Rene Drive so that it would line up with the remainder of 34th Street-that is not a problem. Another issue-a request has been made on a variance to the curb and gutter along Clement Road and 36th Street. Mr. Chaney stated that there are several subdivisions in which curb and gutter were not required-Armstrong, Brownwood, and part of Elk Hollow that was never built. Shannon Pasternak stated that her only concern is traffic flow. Mrs. Pasternak stated that Rene and Chantelle Drives are shown to exit onto 36th Street. She lives on the S curve and can not back out of her drive now without feeling like someone is going to run into her. She is not opposed to the housing, just the traffic. " Mr. Chaney stated that eliminating the street and having a street coming out at a different location will move traffic exiting the subdivision further .away from Ms. Pasternak's property. It will be an improvement to what was originally proposed. Chairman Hayter said he would like to see the subdivision because 200 homes would be a good thing for Paris, and he said he is sympathetic to why the developer does not want a major collector level street going through his subdivision.
